“I actually helped a politician to become prime minister in his country.” Can she say who? “It breaks my heart to say it, because he was murdered before his inauguration. I dare not say who, I could be in fear of my life.”

I suspect that some of the details are inaccurate, given that Ford is not a political expert and probably neither is her interviewer. It may not have been a prime minister, and they may have just recently taken office rather than been about to do so.

I did wonder about Zoran Djindjić, but he had been PM for several months at the time of his assassination and, more important, was already a good public speaker (I saw him address a rally in 1997).

The other possibility that came to mind was Vazgen Sargsyan, who had been in office only a few months at the time of the 1999 massacre, but I would be surprised to learn that he spoke English.
